The real news is that Melenchon has finally managed to make it to the second round. And the question now is whether Macron’s voters are as compromised about stopping fascism as they’ve claimed for years to the point that they’ll vote to *horrified gasp* raise their taxes.

Conservatives need to stop projecting their kinks into real life. It ain’t healthy.

Please remember to report before blocking.

The vibes I get from the French left in social media remind me of the days when Podemos (in Spain) was soaring. It gives me a bit of hope. Good luck.

“The scary socialist madman” accompanied by the Democratic Party apparatus? A presidential candidate Sanders along with a moderate liberal VP would have gotten both the traditional Democratic vote (as long as the party collaborated with him, rather than giving him the Corbyn treatment, which I don’t trust liberals not to do) and a considerable chunk of the electorate who doesn’t feel represented by either party. The day you guys understand that you don’t have to fight the Republicans in traditional terms, but rather, to change the coordinates of the fight, you’ll force Republicans to choose between evolving or getting buried. But the real problem by this point is whether it is too late.

Look, you haven’t sold me on the idea, but I’m going to upvote you because, if nothing else, this is an original take.

Welcome to the shittiest timeline.

What I got from this is that Anon is undergoing serious financial struggles and is trying to scrape by.

Do you know what’s worse than stimulating your fear response? Stimulating your anger response. And millions of people choose do that daily in their interactions with social media.

Can they sell the mansion from abroad?

Doesn’t that actually absolve them of their shit behavior? It isn’t the same to try and scam grandmas because you want a shinier car than because you’re locked at a basement and beaten up if you don’t make your kidnappers money.

Hey! I will not tolerate this kind of racism against influencers! /s

Canary Islands. Great place, but the mass tourism is actually killing them, provoking skyrocketing rent and shortages of power and water.

This is what colonial rhetoric in the 21st century looks like.

Is this bill going to be voted by the previous representatives or by the ones we just voted? Because that page shows the ones who are leaving.

Not “an”. Plural.

I would have agreed some time ago, but they’ve shot the prices through the roof lately.

I’ll have you know, I have pretty high standards to consider someone an expert.

I’ve been there on tour once, and I just looked at an online map to make sure I didn’t misremember. I also follow a guy on YouTube that talks about geology and has been focused on Iceland lately, so I think that makes me a complete expert.

Oh, no! You’re meeting all of them!

By “crossing the red lines” do you mean ex-Eastern block countries joining NATO? Those countries joined out of their own free will BECAUSE they feared Russia might want to attack them. And, oh surprise, Russia did attack the one country not sucking up to them that didn’t join NATO. Why should Russia’s security be sacred above that of all its neighbours?

If by red lines you don’t mean that, then they’ve clearly not been crossed. Russia and US or EU troops have not directly fought each other, and no country has used nuclear weapons so far.
